They are not a free flow hose like your normal hoses. They have a restricter on the end of the hose where you connect the nozzle. If it didn't have that restrictor on the end, the hose would retract every time you squeeze the nozzle. They need that restricted flow so the back pressure keeps the hose expanded while you use it.
Now that is very interesting. I did not know about that and will check it out. Thanks.
